Outlet shoot out

well, i have something really important to do (i just gotta go clean the rocks out of my tires RIGHT NOW) or i would go do an Outlet shootout.

but somewhat seriously, i confess i just accepted the advice of Jennifer Crock and bought her (Jena Labs) deep-immersion cry'od outlets without doing a comparison when i installed my dedicated lines. the complete dedicated line system was a major improvement over my previous standard residential outlets and circuts. but i can't say exactly what the outlets did in the big picture.

anyway, i appreciate the work (it is work comparing outlets....or power cords.....or power conditioners) and feedback that others can use to make their decisions.

Sean, i should have said "tire treads".....but you got the idea. ;^)

Sol322, the problem is that you don't violate your local electrical codes by "direct to the wall" wireing. have a competent electrician do any high-voltage unless you happen to be knowledgeable. better safe than sorry.

in theory, direct wireing COULD be better. but if you ever had an emergency and needed to disconnect something without a plug to disconnect, you could have a problem. also, any time you needed to move the gear or open it up it would be a safety and logistical challenge.

Tom, your comments beg the question; if you are using these 2 outlets (Acme and FIM) in different rooms with different gear and different software, how are you able to assign the characteristics so specifically to the outlets?

i don't use either (i use Jena Labs) but was just curious.

Tom, thanks for the explaination; makes perfect sense.
